Black & White Gallery I — I shot black and white for many years, loving the many hours spent in the darkroom bringing the images to life. The parallels between black & white darkroom and the conversion of color digital images in Photoshop are strikingly similar—minus the chemicals! The images in this collection are macro and close-ups, mostly abstract representations of familiar flowers.

Butterflies, Butterflies! While on a trip to Gainesville, Florida, home of the University of Florida, we visited the Florida Natural History Museum. What a treat! Not only does the museum have outstanding exhibits on aspects of Florida's natural and cultural history, but it houses the second largest butterfly and moth specimen collection in the world — as well as a wonderful butterfly house with hundreds of butterflies everywhere. Stand in one place long enough, and one will alight on your hair. Although the butterflies in these photographs are yet to be identified, they are enjoyable to view!

Most are protected within national and state park & forest boundaries. Many of the waterfalls are easily accessible from the road; some require a hike of varying difficulty.
